The California African American Museum (CAAM)
exists to research, collect, preserve and interpret
for public enrichment, the history, art and culture of
African Americans with additional emphasis on
California and the western United States. The
museum is a respository of more than 3,200 objects
of art, historical artifacts and memorabilia. Our
permanent collection includes paintings,
photographs, sculpture and artifacts representing
the diverse contributions of African Americans. In
addition, we host independent and collaborative
educational programs both on and off site of
lectures, workshops, innovative programs, and
hands-on activities that serve public and private
school students, as well as museum patrons and
community visitors of all ages.
